Larry,
I did a delivery of a GB49 a while back that had extensive tinting on all salon
Windows. While it certainly cut down on sun heating, it created two major
problems:
1. Night time visibility from the lower helm was drastically
impacted to the point of creating an unsafe condition,
2. The film had a metal film component that stopped all GPS signals
from getting to hand held GPS receivers. When we lost the ship's
GPS antenna due to water intrusion (the GB49 is a really wet boat
in any type of head sea), the hand helds could not get a signal in
the cabin. Duck taping a GPS antenna outside the window took care of that.
